I’m playing not one but three gigs, in three different genres, in Wellington in the first week of March – all free or koha entry.
First up there’s the international multimedia epic East to West
on Thursday 3rd of March at Photospace Gallery, Wellington.
This will be followed by the first ever gig of The Electricka Zoo 
on Saturday 5th of March, 7:30pm at the Performance Arcade, Wellington
and then by Gamelan Padhang Moncar 
on Sunday 6th of March, 10:00am at the Newtown Fair, Wellington.
If you’re in Wellington please come to some or all of these! I look forward to seeing you there… a special prize for anyone who makes it to all three…
Ascension Band 2005
“With elements of punk, post-punk, jazz, classical, straight rock, opera and music hall, the Ascension Band are that rare thing: Something Wholly Other. They retain avant garde cred and still manage to rock harder than AC/DC.” – www.varsity.co.nz

Here’s my first major project for 2016, as part of the New Zealand Fringe Festival:
The show is a big OE epic of video & music from the Tasman to the Atlantic, a decade in the making.
It takes the audience on a journey half way around the world from New Zealand, across Australia, via a dozen countries including Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, Russia, Albania, Portugal and more.
l’ll play a live soundtrack myself as a solo performance, to evoke each country… it’ll be a culmination of the travelling and field recording /world music direction I’ve taken over the past decade.
So far it’s screened in New Zealand Fringe Festival and also at the Southland Arts Festival in Invercargill.
My 2005 Fringe show Ascension Band won best music award. So did the 2006 Lines of Flight show in Dunedin that I was part of.
